Explain, in your own words, Dr. Black’s visual of a book in the middle of two Bibles. What is she illustrating with this visual?

Our curriculum should be surrounded by God’s word. It should be begin and end with God’s word.

I think this illustration shows how we should look at what we teach. The curriculum and scope and sequence are important but they need to be framed in God’s word. We need to look at each topic from a Biblical perspective and how we can weave that into every area that we teach. This also helps the student understand that all topics can be directed back to the word of God.

Dr. Black is illustrating that you cannot separate the Bible out of other subject content. They must be infused/integrated correctly otherwise, our Christian Philosophy cannot stand. Christian Curriculum cannot stand alone, it must be built upon and integrated with scripture as the foundation and woven into every subject and every aspect of our teaching. We must be able to articulate this clearly to our students and model it daily.

Our curriculum is not only built upon the foundation of Scripture but also is covered by Scripture.

She is illustrating that all of our classroom materials should be influenced by God’s Word. We should start and end with His word to ensure that our students are immersed in Christian principles.
